Related Maintenance VS48197 (Q110) Administrator's User Guide was updated to document the usage of the 'vmail' parameter in the QuickGen Tag Language section in Appendix A. The 'vmail' parameter will allow the QuickGen To, From and Subject values to be obtained from the standard VMAIL parameters specified for the job. Note:this only applies to batch QuickGen processing.
